He's not directly, but he's still repelling me. I'll vote Labour because I can hold my nose re Starmer due to having an excellent constituency MP. It's very easy for me to not be arsed and abstain though, given I have to do a postal vote and may have a narrow window to do that.

I agree but that's why he's saying this shit.
It's not for us who will vote Labour, it's for those who always vote Tory. A bigger majority, the easier government is.
I was in A&E from 10 pm to 5 am with my daughter on Good Friday/Easter Saturday. When we finally got to go to the treatment area at about 3 am I was glad to have been sat in the waiting room for the rest of the time. When we were walking between the waiting room and the little mini-ward for kids in A&E it was just wall to wall with old people laying in beds in the corridors, because there wasn't the bed capacity in cubicles and on the wards. I was glad for my 6 year old daughter not to have to see that.
I don't understand how anyone can visit a hospital in this country these days and want to vote Tory in the next GE.

A comfort blanket of gibberish.
Christ. Well if Sonia Sodha is praising this, that says something.
I usually don't take what the person is saying, rather listen to the interview.
How could anyone actually have voted for Brexit. Could well be the same people.
@Pogue Mahone posted in the Transgender rights thread and I thought it was useful. More in depth discussion on the subject should take place in the correct thread, but this may be useful as a summary of the report when looking at political reaction in this thread:
Who votes that Nigel Farage should be scrapped?
This moronic tosser still gets air (time) and millions of idiots will vote for the Reform Party.
Read this (I cannot post on that thread) but Pogue posted and his comments I thought were fair.
Like the report, it's fair balanced but as this is such a fractious issue, it's just being used to scream and claim all sorts of nonsense.
Dear God...

Ah yes the last referendum went so well. This is Farage’s new grift it seems.

So Farage doesn't understand that the ECHR is not an EU institution.
He now wants the public to vote to cancel the Northern Ireland protocol and Windsor framework and all trade deals, especially the one with the EU and people would fall for this complete nonsense because he's a racist xenophobe. Come on you Brexiters, press the self-destruct button yet again.
When will someone lock this moron up?
I don't know why you allow german citizens to get elected
They refused his application. His only hope is that a senile Trump will look after him.
Don't forget the peace process too.
And just about everything on the international front. At some point in time, surely it must dawn on the British public that this tw@t has taken them for a ride for over twenty years and an angry mob will chase him through the gates of Pentonville Prison.
This clown just parrots anything the Republican Party says in the US. He’ll be screaming about stolen elections next.
feck I hope he dies. Painfully and as soon as possible. He’s just disgusting.
Having worked in elections, postal voting in the UK is one of the most secure methods to vote by. There are numerous checks involved throughout the process. If Farage had any evidence, he would go to the authorities but he's talking bollocks.
You're not Angela Rayner are you?
Are we getting paid more to work these weekends or is it the same salary but more work? Our salaries are already crap as it is
In a normal society they’d be kicked out for staging such a deceitful stunt!
Be grateful that we give you jobs.
I just came here to post that. Very suspect vendetta against that academic and dodgy using her comment on that Guardian article as part of her evidence. Serious McCarthyist witch hunt.
We came so close with that plane crash. Heartbreaking.
The fact his plane crashed after a UKIP banner got entangled with it, is alongside the ‘This does not slip, followed by a slip’ in the hall of fame.

If we sacked a load of healthcare workers, that would allow us to reinvest the money into defence.
Forget Michelle Donelan and her £34k, these are the real villains we should be going after...

I'll be generous and assume you are referring to the commitments to trident otherwise you've missed the whole 'when resources allow' comment in your haste to get a dig in
"When resources allow" is subjective and could potentially mean the moment they get in and make cuts to benefits or something like that to facilitate it.
It's also subjective and could mean by the end of parliament or never.
Again, they are saying that their plan to reduce spending on benefits is to fund the NHS and mental health services to support people into recovery because the numbers are too high because of austerity leading to delays in treatment.
They have to talk with firm rhetoric because they are Labour are don't get away with anything with the press we have.
